The Attorney General has re

"endless chain" affairs. Hesays

There is great satisfaction . at
the re-ult of the investigation
of the "Amos Owen Cherry Tree
Company." There is evidence
that this company shipped a
large number of wild cherry
trees to customers. Endless
chain schemes are unlawful, and
in direct defiance of the United

To Help In the Celebration at Koauoke
Island Next Vear.
The North Carolina delegation
in Congress will unite in asking
Congress to make a liberal ap
propriation for the celebration
next summer at Roanoke Island
in commemoration of the landing
of the Sir Walter Raleigh colony.
A bill has been drawn asking
Congress to appropriate $50,0(Xi
to the celebration, and it will bo
introduced in the Senate next
Tuesday by Senator Simmons.
With the active support of the
North Carolina Senators and
Congressmen it is believed the
bill stands a good chance of pas- J
Esclgtt. oovri Ut tu iwnii
Carolina representatives have
written from Washington to that
effect. Senator Simmons has
written that he believes there is
a reasonoble good chance to get
an appropriation fro.n the cov
ernment. The bill asking for the appro
priation was drawn by members
of the State Literary and His
torial Society, who have the ar
rangements for the celebration
u charge. The gentlemen who
were selected to arrange for the
celebration are not idle and they
propose to make it one of the
notable events in the State's
history.
A letter has also been received
here from a North Carolina Con
gressman who says he believes
the government will make an
appropriation to the Raleigh
statue.
The preliminary committee
that has in charge the Roanoke
Island celebration will meet at
an early date, when the working
committees will bo chosen and
no time will be lost in preparing
for the celebration, the magni
tude of which will fully equal
the importance of the occasion.
